About Collin

Collin makes a strong first impression—a big orange and white cat who started out fending for himself, but now lives for plush blankets and the joy of indoor lounging. He takes his twice-daily prednisone without complaint, handling his red blood cell needs with calm. While he’s FIV-positive, Collin points out that it’s no reason to worry. He’s lived in harmony with a whole houseful of FIV-negative cats and only occasionally plays too rough. That orange ninja spirit kicks in often: he disappears into tunnels, then ambushes at will, always plotting another sneak attack. There’s always a favorite blanket dragged in his wake, which gets a thorough suckle when he needs comfort. He’s a sly escape artist, slipping out cracked doors—and then turning around and wandering back in when the mood passes. If there’s fresh cat grass nearby, Collin becomes the resident critic, refusing to touch it until it stands just tall enough to satisfy him. Underneath it all, he’s a lovable mischief-maker who wants in on family life. With Collin, expect company, opinion, and a lot of laughs. Click apply to start the adoption process.
